“It’s up to us as human beings to do proper regulation of the stocks and to agree among each other – and then we will have a good fishery,” claims ClimeFish coordinator Michaela Aschan, at the end of the 4 minute long film which premiered on Euronews on 29 April. It is translated into several…
ClimeFish is developing general guidelines for making Climate Adaptation Plans for marine capture fisheries, marine aquaculture and freshwater lake and pond production. The effects of climate change are already being widely observed in marine and freshwater fisheries and aquaculture in Europe and will continue to have major implications on these sectors, with negative, neutral and…
CEN Workshop proposal on Recommendations for making Climate Adaptation Plans for marine capture fisheries, marine aquaculture and freshwater lake and pond production” (ClimeFish) The proposed new CEN Workshop is related to the “Co-creating a decision support framework to ensure sustainable fish production in Europe under climate change” (ClimeFish) project that is funded by H2020-BG-02-2015-2. The…
Food-web analysis and functional biogeography can provide important insights into the relationship between species composition, diversity, ecosystem functioning, and environmental drivers. This represents invaluable knowledge in a period when communities and ecosystems change due to climate warming and managers seek advice. Climate change triggers poleward shifts in species distribution leading to changes in biogeography. In…
On 9 October 2018, the 1st ClimeFish Roundtable was held in Brussels. 24 participants, including EU policy makers and ClimeFish partners, gathered to discuss how ClimeFish results can feed into future Adaptation Packages on fisheries and aquaculture. The outcome of the talks have been summarised in this easily read one-pager. More information about the roundtable discussions…
The marine aquaculture sector includes six specific case studies describing different aquacultured species and systems. Three fish species includes the most popular marine farmed fish species in Europe, Sea bass (Dichentarius labrax) in Greece and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Scotland and Norway, as well as common carp (Cyprinus carpio) pond farming in Hungary, in…
ClimeFish will make a European standard for how to make Climate Adaptation Plans As outlined in the project plan, ClimeFish will deliver a European good practice standard called “Recommendations for making Climate Adaptation Plans for marine capture fisheries, marine aquaculture and freshwater lake and pond production”. The standard is a so called CEN Workshop Agreement…
ClimeFish project facilitated a dialogue platform, where 24 participants, including policy makers and ClimeFish partners, debated on how to mainstream adaptation in the European maritime policies. What are the adaptation priorities for fisheries and aquaculture in Europe? How can ClimeFish contribute to integrate climate change adaptation? Representatives from the EU Commission (DG Mare, DG Clima,…
